The true fan has an abundance of spirit that overflows into their outside environment.

This is certainly true for Mike Daniels.

And his office.

In a small office in the basement of Tampa General Hospital, the promotional signs, posters and yellowing newspaper clippings that layer the walls tell a story of franchise that has been through a lot, good and bad; the Superbowl, the '99 Rams game, Ray-Jay, the creamsicles, Ronde Barber pulling picks, Trent Dilfer throwing them. But if you listen to Mike there is always a positive spin.

"Some say I should work for the Government putting a positive spin on things," says the man who is a regular guest on the local Bucs radio shows "I tell them FIRST YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU ARE SAYING , and I DO BELIEVE WE WILL BE THE CHAMPIONS AGAIN!"

If his collection of memorabilia in his office doesn't convince you that he believes, then you should see his den in his home.

The spirit is overflowing from there, too.

Are you the loudest fan in your section? Do you have a season's supply of face paint, and have an artistic way of displaying your loyalty to the Bucs? Is your car - or bus, or RV - decked out in red and pewter?

If so, TBO.com is looking for you. Each week during the season, we will be on the lookout for a Fan Of The Week – someone who's not afraid of showing their true Bucs colors, and would like to be featured on TBO.com.

E-mail us if you'd like to be featured, and be sure to share your photos with other Bucs fans by uploading them to our Snap! fan photo gallery.
